Line 35:

At twenty past the hour, segment B begins, running 14:19 in length. NPR offers local stations a cutaway from the national feed at 34:20 past the hour. The cutaway is identified by the host when he or she says, "You're listening to ''Weekend Edition'' from NPR News". For stations that opt to stay with the national feed, a short interview or commentary piece is delivered, running 2:59 in length. Another two-minute station break, following the same music bed/headlines format as the first, ensues.

Segment C, the longest segment of the hour, starts at 40:00 after the hour and runs for seventeen minutes, forty-nine seconds. ''Weekend Edition Saturday'' usually slots musical performances, arts stories or interviews in segment C. ''Weekend Edition Sunday'' uses the time for its weekly puzzle segment with Will Shortz, and interviews and light features. At the end of the segment, Simonthe or Martinhost reads the credits and signs off for the hour. Segment C is followed by a forty-second funding credit announcement, and then ninety seconds of music.
